Category Archives: Race Classes

In the Western Cape, we currently run formats that will suit riders of all abilities. The current race classes are listed below, but it is important to know which classes race together, so read carefully:

2018 Race Classes

·Superbikes:

This is a Regional class, and these guys are seriously fast and competitive, and a number of national riders take part in our Regional Championship. The Superbike class consists of 3 sub classes

Class A: 1min 14.999 seconds and faster

Class B: 1min 15.000 seconds to 1min 19.999 seconds

Class X: Riders ineligible for Championship points

These classes are currently time based classes, meaning that a rider’s best lap time determines which class he/she participates in. This format allows Superbike riders of different abilities to compete in the same race.

·600cc Supersport:

This is a Regional class for 600cc bikes, but these bikes are all national spec machines. They are limited to modifications stipulated in the national rules.

Class X: Existing 650’s that do not conform to the 2017 rules will be able to race in Class X for one race day before converting the bikes to the 2017 rules. This class will also be available to Honda CBR500 motorcycles in order to determine which class will be most suitable for these bikes. Please note that this is a non points scoring class.

This format represents a cost effective way of racing

·Classic Superbikes:

This is a Club class for older model bikes, and although the rules make provision for 3 sub classes

Classic Bikes

Vintage Superbikes

New Era bikes

All 3 of these sub classes have combined to form the Classic Superbike class. This means that the results are NOT split into the 3 sub classes.

·Clubman’s Motorcycles:

This is a Club class and is an entry level class for riders on newer bikes, that are not Powersport or Classic Superbike machines, and who do not lap quick enough to allow them to participate in the Superbike classes. This is effectively a feeder class for riders wishing to upgrade to the Superbike classes at a later stage, once their lap times are quick enough. This class runs in the same race as Powersport and Classic Superbikes.
